It's a voice that soars - pure, clear and true - above bass, synths, traditional percussion and infectious Mande guitar grooves. A stop-you-in-your-tracks voice instantly familiar with anyone in Mali, West Africa. On her debut international release, Rokia Kone (aka the Rose of Bamako) teams up with Irish-born, California-based rock producer Jacknife Lee and reimagined the Malian sound in ways both leftfield and groundbreaking.
